Procurement teams in asset-intensive companies order spare parts and MRO materials every day. The standard process: search the supplier catalog in a browser, then manually re-enter part numbers, descriptions, and prices into Maximo requisitions. Slow, error-prone, and running on prices that may not reflect current contracts or availability.
cXML Punchout connects Maximo/MAS to supplier electronic catalogs through the industry cXML standard. The user launches procurement from inside the Maximo Purchase Requisition process, punches out to the supplier catalog with contracted prices and live availability, selects items, and the cart returns automatically to Maximo as requisition line items — correct part numbers, descriptions, and prices, ready for the standard approval and PO flow. No re-entry. No mismatches between what was ordered and what was recorded.
